Young writer Clare Kenyon tells her story of her descent into psychosis brought on by too many party drugs, ending up with her locked in a Berlin psychiatric ward. We talk about the time she thought she was famous in the midst of psychosis, the state of WA psychiatric facilities (all the boardgames at Alma Street had bits missing from them, among other indignities), her recovery to where she is today, and whether you can still enjoy electronic music without drugs. Her full story's in her book: From a Nightclub to a Straitjacket: "The Story of a Party Girl" and it's available as an e-book from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com.au/From-Nightclub-Straitjacket-Story-Party-ebook/dp/B00KTX6JMG
